This book was good! It wasn't great, and there were definitely some things and some parts that felt a bit like an easy fix to a problem the characters were having. Some stuff definitely felt like the author taking the easy way out on some things, and there were some things that didn't make too much sense. That being said, it was a fun and quick and easy read, and I really enjoyed it! It was a fun mystery to figure out alongside the characters, and although I did guess the plot twist, I only guessed it a few pages before it was revealed, so it was still a pretty good twist when it was revealed. So overall, if you're looking for a book to blow you away and blow your mind, this probably isn't the book for you (though I can see why it might be for someone with different reading tastes/styles). However, if you want a fun and quick read to maybe get you out of a slump or just because, this is definitely a good one for that! Overall, I really liked it!
